Although the boys were a little off form due to the weekend rest, they had plenty of hustle. Another letterman who was not counted on to play this year re turned to the fold. He is “Sparky” Eberle, who played a lot of tackle last year. “Sparky” was not in uniform Monday, but he was due to take part in Tuesday’s workouts. Harold V. Ratliff, Associated Press Sports Editor, was on hand for Monday’s drill. He was on his annual pre-season trip to the campus at which time he gets in dividual pictures of the boys and attempts to figure how the Aggies will fare in the conference race. Monday’s workout started off with a punting drill which was fol lowed by passing. After running dummy scrimmage for awhile, the boys really started roughing it up with a full steam scrimmage. BOOTS AND SPURS WANTED Many students on the campus know of A. & M. graduates in your home towns who would sell their senior boots and spurs. Help me get in touch with these men so that I might be able to obtain more of these hard-to-get items. You will do a service to the present senior class in this way. \ - - - Just Received - New shipment of overseas caps in all sizes— lined with satinette—have leather sweat bands.

Lead Volleyball Leagues Taxis Will Have 2-Way Radios Soon America’s first two-way taxicab radio system will be installed in Cleveland by the Yellow and Zone Cab companies as soon as possible after the war, provided approval can be obtained from the Federal Communications Commission for this service. The proposed installa tion is being worked out with the help of the General Electric Com pany’s Electronics Department and Cab Research Bureau, Inc., the latter representing the taxi in dustry. The radio communication system will be of benefit to the general public, because it will make it possible to': Establish contact with any cab instantly at any place in the city; Eliminate all present unattend ed call boxes, with their direct line connection to cab headquar ters; Reduce “dead” mileage and thus conserve gasoline, rubber, and ex tend the life of the taxicab itself. Present plans call for one main transmitter for the downtown area and two others to cover the rest of Greater Cleveland. Each transmitter would have four chan nels, with 100 cabs assigned to each channel. 4- With the intramural competition having been completed in softball and tennis except for the finals in tennis between C Battery and E Troop, basketball and volleyball competition has eliminated a fpw more likely contenders for the cov eted intramural flag. In League A in basketball this afternoon’s game between D Com pany and F Company will throw the league into a tie with the win ner of the game and C Battery. All three teams have lost one game. F and D Companies now each have four victories to their credit as compared to C Battery’s five. There will have to be a play off between this afternoon’s vic tors and C Battery to determine the league championship. B Bat tery has already won the League B crown and will play in the fi nals to be held in the near future. In volleyball, D Company has won all their games and lost none which makes them League A champions. The rest of the teams in that league have lost two or more games with still morq games to be played. In League B, F com pany is leading with five victories and one defeat on their record. A Company and C Company are the only likely contenders for first place with three games yet to be played. They have both lost one tilt already. F Company, from all indication, will be the league championship which will play D Company for the Corps champion ship.
